Asthma Review
Hiya, I'm posting because I had an asthma review with my surgery's ""asthma nurse"" today (who has no formal asthma training!), which was a weird experience. I have never had a review before - I usually have to see my GP/be treated in hospital. I am currently waiting to see a consultant and am on stage

Salbutamol and blood sugar levels
I've just found out (googled a hunch) that high-ish doses of salbutamol and salmeterol can raise blood sugar. This happens through the same mechanism that lowers potassium, and as I regularly get low potassium, I'm guessing that I also get the blood-sugar raising effect. On saturday I had lots of acute

Flare-up's once the pollen comes out!
I've recently had a pretty bad flare-up of my asthma symptoms, forcing me to be rushed to hospital last week on nebulisers and prednisolone. I'm sixteen and until last year, my asthma seemed to be pretty well-controlled. However, last June I ended up in hospital with pneumonia, and the result= my asthma

Mucus from one lung
Hi there I've been having real bother with mucus coming from one lung, sometimes clear, sometimes yellow ( when I can get it up from the wheezy bit). Had it for more than a year and a half, it appeared after having my daughter who got pertussis, I got the cough then a couple of really bad chest infections

How should I inhale my Salbutamol? Does how I inhale it make a difference?
I visited my surgery last week and saw one of the nurses - the appointment was to have a spirometry test. Because of a course of antibiotics I had had I was told that I would have to wait 4-6 weeks after the end of the course of antibiotics before having the test. Anyway, she chatted to me and

Have no idea what set me off!
I'm trying to be good and identify what my triggers are, just wondered if anyone could help me figure out what happened yesterday?! I spent most of the day sat watching films, as in I barely moved for about 6 hours! (I'm a student so it's allowed :P) One of my flatmates knocked on my door and said he'd

Is anyone else suffering from an increase of illnesses since having Viral Meningitis or Viral Meningio-Encephalitis?
Hi - I was admitted as an emergency with Mengio-Encephalitis in August 2011 and put in isolation for over two weeks. Since then, have been back into hospital four times: 1). Nov 2011 - I began a severe chest infection that four doses of anti-biotics couldn’t shift! 2). Feb 2012 - I was admitted

US Healthcare, I have Bronchiectasis, MAI, and Liver Disease
In the midst of our great country so many have no medical care. I am afraid to say that I have become one of them. I am saddened by the delay of helping me to get treatment. As some of you know I was diagnosed in Aug 2012. Took me until Dec. 2012 to see a Dr for my Bronchiectasis. It literally took

Smoking - COPD
I used to wonder when walking why is everyone ahead of me. I did notice I was a bit breathless but took no notice. I admit I loved my cigs and smoked up to 30 a day but have also been a big smoker for over thirty years. One day during a short walk I found that I was unable to move as I could not breath

New to asthma and attacks
Hi, I was recently diagnosed with adult onset asthma last Monday after a couple months with a lingering cough and difficulties with mucus and breathing. I'm actually in the US but this site seems to have quite a lot of good information on it. The symptoms I was having were a minor inconvenience until
